Model of Disengagement to Exit

This model is based on information from  Leigh Branham’s book The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave (AMACOM Books, 2004) . In his research with the Saratoga Institute’s database of 20000 post exit surveys, he uncovered that voluntary employee turnover is almost always preceded by a period of disengagement from the organisation, after some turning point event. He adds weight to this by referring  to Dr Thomas Lee’s research (Lee is a Professor at the University of Washington) where there is strong evidence that most employee initiated turnover starts when the employee experiences some shocking or jarring event. Dr Lee emphasis that exit interviews that do not uncover the turning point events and get the employee to discuss the deliberation process will not reveal the root case.

New Powerful Retention Tool - RECAP™

Workforce Retention’s  RECAP™ tool gives powerful insight to managers about their employees intrinsic needs to help manage 'individuals'.

The tool captures unique preferences, values and expectations of employees as they enter the workforce.The initial results build a profile, setting out what is most important for the individual and their regard for key aspects of their employment. The information is captured in such a way that it reveals how individuals uniquely characterise and prioritise each need.

After a designated time a second profile is built for the manager to access, highlighting gaps in satisfaction by the employee and providing the manager with a Retention, Engagement and Commitment index.

How Does The Data Add Value?

It has two-fold value. Firstly, it provides a one page profile of the preferences the employee places on key aspects of their job role.   Then after a designated lapse in time it recaptures the employee’s satisfaction against those same unique preferences. The comparative data highlights important gaps for the manager.

Secondly; themes in employee groups can also be uncovered across different parts of the organisation through the tools web reporting. This provides powerful insight to the organisation and assists guage committment and engagement levels.

The data captured independently via email workflow encourages greater candour from the employee. Managers can access individual or group profiles via a web link.
